Peterstive, GER. Pa rsley. : 
CULTURE. Used for garnishing and seasoning soups, 
meats, etc. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly 
early in April in rows 1 foot apart and 4 inch deep; thin out 
the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the rows. The seed is 
slow of germination, taking from three to four weeks to make 
its appearance, and often failing to come up in dry weather. To 
assist its coming up quicker, soak the seed a few hours in 
warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells 
or bursts. For winter use protect in a frame or light cellar.
